FAQs
Q: How accurate are CubiCasa floor plans? A: Within 2-3% of professional measurements. The AI creates a point cloud from your scan data, renders a 2D floor plan, and then a QA engineer checks accuracy before delivery.
Q: Can we add our logo? A: Yes. Upload your logo and choose colors to match your brand. You can hide non-rentable spaces too.
Q: What if it mislabels a room? A: Submit a revision request within 72 hours for free corrections. A QA specialist manually adjusts any issues.
Q: Volume discounts? A: Yes. 20+ scans/month gets you up to 25% off. Higher volumes (200+, 1000+) get 30-35% discounts.
Q: Turnaround time? A: Most of the work is done by AI. But processing happens in a queue shared by thousands of users. That means:
Standard delivery: 24 hours (so you can review the next day).
Rush delivery: 6 hours if you need it faster.
CubiCasa’s AI processing is fast, but to ensure quality and handle high demand, scans are batched through servers and prepped for your revision window. The rush option jumps you to the front of the line.
Pro Tips
Walk slowly and keep the phone steady. You’ll miss fewer spots.
